Why Eat Fruits & Vegetables ?
As part of an overall healthy diet, the addition of fruits and vegetables has been shown to help reduce the risk of certain types of chronic
diseases. This is in addition to the vitamin and mineral content that fruits and vegetables provide as part of daily nutrition.
One of the main reasons for the decreased risk is that when you are eating fruits and vegetables, you are eating foods that are nutrient
dense (vitamins and minerals). Conversely, they are naturally low in fat, sodium, and calories and contain no cholesterol. Thus, when you
replace other foods with fruits and vegetables you usually have a lower caloric intake, higher nutrient intake, and less sodium and cholesterol
in your overall diet. Fresh, non-processed fruits and vegetables are also high in fiber, another important dietary component lacking in many
people’s food intake.
This type of diet leads to significantly lower risk of adult onset diabetes (Type II), reduces the likelihood of becoming overweight, and
reduces the risk of stroke and other cardiovascular disease. In addition, the antioxidant content of many fresh fruits and vegetables likely
decreases your risk of certain types of cancers, particularly mouth, stomach, and colon. Similarly, eating potassium-rich fruits and vegetables
helps to decrease bone loss, helps maintain healthy blood pressure, and may reduce the risk of developing kidney stones.
The WIC Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program
The WIC Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program offers eligible WIC families checks to buy fresh fruits, vegetables, and fresh cut herbs at approved farmers’ markets and farmstands.
The dollar amounts are preprinted on the checks. Look for the farmers with the yellow sign posted. They are the ones that can take your
WIC checks. Many of them are listed in this publication. For the current list of approved places contact Krysta Van Dyck at the Marinette
County WIC office, 2500 Hall Avenue, Suite C Marinette WI 54143. 715-732-7680
Wisconsin WIC participants are eligible to go to any Wisconsin approved farm stand, including those below. For information on the WIC
program in Oconto, contact 920-834-7072. In Florence contact 715-528-4837.
